How to Make Mac Turn Off or On Automatically
I've been searching for the settings to turn my 2021 iMac on and off at a preset schedule.
All my previous Macs (1986 to 2021😁) had an "easy-to-find" setting for this. What the heck?
iMac, OS X 10.11

That’s possible, I was referring to the link from @dialabrain which referred only to wake & sleep. It also contained a dead link to pmset, unfortunately.
Irrespective, here’s the pmset command with all the options, should work (prepend sudo):
pmset schedule [cancel] {sleep | wake | poweron | shutdown | wakeorpoweron}
"MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss" [owner]
pmset repeat cancel
pmset repeat {sleep | wake | poweron | shutdown | wakeorpoweron}
weekdays "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss"
Where weekdays is a subset of MTWRFSU ("M" and "MTWRF" are valid strings)
Perhaps you should try it on a non-"bayta" Mac.
I prefer dialabrain 😁🍻
Uh huh. FWIW, the link opens the Terminal. Last I checked, iPads and iPhones don't have a Terminal app. 🙄
